Zion's jumper is odd. The fact it went in so smooth last night I believe was fools gold. But regardless of that, Zion did have some moments where he showed where his real strengths lie.
His first basket he relentlessly attacked the ball and put it back in. He's like Montrez Harrell with prime Vince Carter athleticism.

If you go to :26 seconds on this video, you see Zion legit just spin on Derozan and literally jumps over both him and Patty Mills to finish a crazy athletic dunk. It was a fantastic pass from Ball as well. This dude legit just caught a lob almost being double teamed with no space and still finished.

Zion is the ultimate receiver imo. He doesn't need a jump shot. He needs to learn how to roll effectively and finish in traffic. He could become the ultimate lob catcher.
After this game what I do feel is ultimate sadness that we could've had Zion with Luka and KP. What a freaking perfect pairing that'd be.
